Zuckerberg again rejects claims of Facebook impact on U.S. election

He is Jewish and Clinton connected. Why would he help Donald Duck?

How about the fake news story about the Clintons divorcing from a right wing Christian site? That got through, didn't it?

Zuckerberg would never lie, would he?

thats actually funny as former Facebook "news curators" admitted they removed conservative news stories from the "trending" news section.

Zuckerberg no doubt had a hand in this and we see more bellyaching and finger-pointing by the same children hiding in their safe spaces this week.

This is a huge problem not just during an election. I once pointed out that a post on a friend's news feed was a lie. Fake words being attributed to Bill Nye. Rather than accepting this, I was de friended and on top of that they doubled down on being punked. Weird. Just because it's on a webpage doesn't mean it's infallible. It's taken as a personal affrontment rather than a helpful realization from a friend.

People are accepting of a lie than thinking of the truth and Facebook is being used to perpetuate more

If Facebook was able to have a major impact on the election Clinton would be President. The problem is that most millennials no longer use it so it did not have the impact that Mark needed it to.

When you see his face turning all red during the interview, trying to defend himself, you know he's lying through his teeth. Hackers should go after FB now.

Hackers should go after FB now.

They already do - maybe more than any other site on the planet.

“Of all the content on Facebook, more than 99% of what people see is authentic”

Define authentic, Mark.

But that isn't Facebooks fault and I don't see where it is their responsibility to fact check every post anybody makes.

Is it my email providers fault when a Nigerian prince sends me an email wanting me to help him transfer his wealth to my country?

Did Facebook have an effect on the election? Certainly. People post, comment and discuss politics there so obviously it had some effect. But the effect was undoubtedly small and probably wasn't more for one side than the other

It's true. He tried to influence the election in Clinton's favor and it didn't work.

Therefore, Facebook didn't influence the election.

saying it is “extremely unlikely” news hoaxes changed the outcome.

Not the point Zuckyboy, the fact that you tried, is. I guess he's worrying about an audit now.

The Pope thing was funny. Made my day.
